Car is built by Budler Motorsport. Its the first time out so these runs can be considered shake down runs. The car is powered by a S38 motor from the E28 M5. Its has a manual gearbox. I am reckon we going to see mid 8's from this baby.

I think there are a few Swedish monsters in E30, E36 and E34 shape that are in the eights if I am not mistaken and there are two 7's second E36's in Australia which are not BMW powered.
This car is a run of the mill E30 Chasis with a big motor and solid diff conversion. Its still a manual which makes a big difference at that time bracket.

i think if you're going to start including drag cars to the 1/4th times there has to be a separate list for drag cars. what qualifies a street car is that you can drive it to the track, then drive it home after you're done.

There are 7 second E36's that are BMW powered. Here is one for example:

isnt that the same story with any car that runs low 8s? Its not the same car, hence why i dont give a $#@! about the make of cars that run 8's, i just respect the 8s...

Those supras running 7s and $#@!, use powerglides and so does every other drag car. RARELY do you see a 7 second car on manual trans, and much respect to them. But those cars once start dipping into the 8s are no longer "enter make here".

Think about it, ford makes the best rear ends, GM makes the best automatics and every other car company makes the best engine (choose your preference) so what you end up with is a 7 second car thats a concoction of the best parts of every car company on this planet (the purists stay away from this type of activity due to their own accord).
